Backdraft Damper
Series 7600 CWA: Adjustable Counterweighted Heavy-Duty
- Each blade is fitted with a fixed internal counterweight.
- Additional fully-adjustable external counterbalance weights are mounted outside the airstream. These can be set to relieve air pressure differentials less than 0.01 in. w.g. (3.0 Pa).
- Counterweights are provided to accelerate opening of blades, and to allow blades to achieve the full open position at lower pressures and airflow velocities.
- Tamco heavy-duty backdraft dampers are constructed with robust components to withstand up to 12” w.g. (3.0 kPa) of static pressure and velocities up to 3500 fpm (17.8 m/s).
- Blades are designed with a rounded head. This reduces pressure loss.
- The Series 7600 CWA is manufactured with the same dual bearing system used for Tamco’s control dampers, resulting in dependable, consistent, and maintenance-free performance.
- The sturdy, slip-proof linkage system is located in the frame side.
- Silicone seals are provided as standard to ensure sealing longevity and remain flexible down to -40° F/C.
- Tamco Series 7600 CWA is available in two install types: Flanged to Duct or Extended Rear Flange.
- The Series 7600 CWA can be installed for airflow up, airflow down, or horizontal airflow operation.
Caution: Never use any lubricants, such as grease or silicone, on Tamco dampers.

Series 7600 CWA Adjustable Counterweighted Heavy-Duty, Backdraft Damper:
- Ideal for installations requiring a heavy-duty backdraft damper with field-adjustable pressure relief
- Used to accelerate opening of blades and designed to allow opening at lower pressures and airflow velocities
- Specifically designed for installations requiring a heavy-duty backdraft damper, subjected to elevated velocities and operating pressures
- Recommended for use in high-pressure isolation systems, air handling units, gen sets, and fan inlet or fan outlet locations
ET – Elevated Temperature Option:
- Heavy-duty backdraft dampers are designed for operation in temperatures as high as 300°F (149°C).
- Bronze-oilite bearings replace Celcon and polycarbonate bearings.
MR – Moisture Resistance Option:
- All zinc-plated steel hardware is replaced with stainless steel, protecting hardware from rust and corrosion when exposed to high humidity or high moisture environments.
SW – Salt Water Resistance Option:
- Extruded aluminum frames, blades and hardware are clear anodized to a depth of 0.7 mil. (18 microns). This prevents rusting and pitting when heavy-duty backdraft dampers are exposed to salt spray or high humidity environments.
- All zinc-plated, steel hardware is replaced wtih stainless steel, protecting hardware from rust and corrosion.
- All aluminum linkage hardware parts are clear anodized.

Caution: External counterbalance crankarms and weights are not available in stainless steel and may be subject to rust or corrosion in high moisture or salt spray environments.
SP – Standard profile
- Manufactured with 4” (101.6 mm) deep frames
- Manufactured with blades that are a maximum 6” (152.4 mm) deep.
